You should read the data as a 3D array. And dims vector
should be (dimx, dimy, # images). 

You can use OrthoSlice -> DisplayImage to look at a particular
image. And VolumeToGeom to do the volume rendering. 

Once the data is in a lattice form, you can use all the *Img 
modules to do processing. Just don;t worry about FIT,etc. That
is really only an Input/Output thang.
